squirmeliaI learnt how to use Max in the Sound Art class I attended and while learning how to use it, I created some turnips:

Turnips 1
This is a screenshot of the Max patch for Turnips 1 on Flickr: Turnips 1 Max Patch.
I played Animal Crossing and wrote down the prices turnips were selling for twice a day on my island, and then what price you could buy them for on Sundays, and then used this data for both of the patches.
On Sundays, when the turnips were for sale, it would play "Sunday Snadger".
For the rest of the week, when turnips could be sold, it converted the prices into notes.
When the price was over 200 bells, it made the sound, "neep".
Neep and snadger are other names for turnips.
Visually, the patch is just cycling through different colours of turnips and then the X axis is just for what day it is, and the Y axis shows the price. Then, when the price is over 200, it displays lots of turnips.

With this one, the prices that the turnips can be sold for are compared to the prices the turnips are bought for. If the price they are sold for is lower than the price they were bought for, the tune will play slower and pink turnips will appear.
If the price they are sold for is higher than the price they were bought for, the tune will play faster and green turnips will appear.
If turnips are selling for more than 200, "snadger" is played.
As previously, visually, the X axis is just for what day it is, and the Y axis shows the price.
This one is using a midi file.
For both patches, I also added in that you could load a VST to make it sound different, such as sounding like a piano, guitar, spacey, etc.
